Revelation 8

1 And when he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. [a] 2 And I saw the seven messengers who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 And another messenger came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and much incense was given to him so that he should give it, with the prayers of all the holy ones, on the golden altar that is before the throne. [b] 4 And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the holy ones out of the hand of the messenger before God. 5 And the messenger has taken the censer, and he filled it from the fire of the altar and threw it to the earth; and there were thunders and voices and lightnings and an earthquake. [c]

6 And the seven messengers who have the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them. 7 And the first sounded; and there came hail and fire mixed in blood, and it was thrown to the earth; and the third of the earth was burned up, and the third of the trees was burned up, and all green grass was burned up. [d]

8 And the second messenger sounded; and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and the third of the sea became blood, [e] 9 and the third of the creatures in the sea, the ones having souls, died, and the third of the ships were destroyed. [f]

10 And the third messenger sounded; and a great star fell out of heaven, burning like a lamp, and it fell on the third of the rivers and on the springs of the waters. [g] 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood. And the third of the waters became wormwood, and many of the people died from the waters, because they were made bitter. [h]

12 And the fourth messenger sounded; and the third of the sun was struck, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, so that the third of them was darkened, and the day would not shine for the third of it, and the night likewise. [i]

13 And I saw, and I heard one eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, from the remaining voices of the trumpet of the three messengers who are about to sound.” [j]
